Educating gifted learners is a 24-7 job in the 21st Century! Our learners have found ways to share their creativity with the world. Come to this presentation to see some of the faces of gifted using social media to spread their unique messages. At the breakout session, you'll learn how to create your own YouTube channel that can be used as a place that your students can share their own messages. This session is for upper elementary aged students and older.
